So we had one of the group members moms go buy about 30 dollars worth of McDonalds and sold it for double our cost. We sold out in about 5 minutes and sat around the rest of the time.

Next day we had the mom bring about $100 worth of food, and the remaining three days we were selling about $300 worth of product.

I think I still have the T-shirt, we called our group "MacDaddy's" and our slogan was "You're loving it."

I'm surprised we didn't get sued haha.

We got an A for the assignment, A for the class and got to keep what we made split between a few people. Even with us eating some of it we still turned a massive profit for really doing nothing but having someones mom go pick up food and then overcharging for a product that's already too expensive for what it is.
